Abstract
Here we show that noisy coupling can lead to diffusive lossless energy transfer between individual quantum systems retaining a quantum character leading to entangled stationary states. Coherence may flow diffusively while being summarily preserved even when energy exchange is absent. Diffusive dynamics persists even in the case where additional noise suppresses all unitary excitation exchange: arbitrarily strong local dephasing, while destroying quantum correlations, does not affect energy transfer.
